Resilient and sustainable livelihood

We support Neighborhood Assemblies (NAs) with skills and knowledge in order to advocate for pro-poor and gender sensitive policies and communities through smart agriculture, trade, climate change and improved service delivery. We promote sustainable agriculture i.e commercial farming & development of value chains, financial inclusion for example Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) and water for production.

We train community members on good agronomic practices through enabling rural innovation and work with farmer groups to develop value chains for selected enterprises aimed at moving farmers away from subsistence to commercial farming so as to address food and income insecurity. We provide linkages to private sectors to access quality seeds and better markets for their produce. We promote community based learning centers for out of school adolescents and unemployed youth to learn life skills and Income Generating Activities (IGAs).

We believe in the power of economic empowerment to uplift individuals and communities through skills training, entrepreneurship development and income generating activities, we help individuals create sustainable livelihoods and improve their economic well-being, thus fostering economic opportunities that contribute to poverty alleviation and social up advancement. We support farmers and promote sustainable agricultural practices, provide training sources and tools to help farmers increase their productivity, improve crop yields and adopt climate smart agriculture techniques by empowering farmers with skills and knowledge they need, we aim to enhance food security, reduce poverty and promote environmental sustainability. We enhance community resilience and create long term economic opportunities and create diversification of income sources through skill development for community members and strengthen social protection systems for vulnerable populations. We use precision farming methods like training community members in using irrigation, drones and soil sensors to optimize water and fertilizer use hence reducing wastage and increasing yields.

 

We promote climate smart agriculture and sustainable land use through adoption of drought resistant crops, agroforestry and conservation agriculture techniques for example drought resistant seeds among others. We create market linkages and value chains through agribusiness training, certification and foreign market linkages. BRUCI focuses on promoting and training of communities on ecological organic agriculture and climate smart agriculture by empowering small holder farmers in rural communities to adopt sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices. We support farmers to access markets for their products by improving their capacity to produce high-quality crops and to participate in value chains addition. We skill youths and women in different marketable trades like hand craft making like baskets, beads, and other products using the locally available resources to create financial independence.
